Why should i have to accommodate someone who is allergic to peanut butter?!


Question: Why should i have to accommodate someone who is allergic to peanut butter!?
You know what really grinds my gears!? People who think the world revolves around them!. Just because your allergic to nuts doesn't mean we all have to accommodate you!. Yea that sucks that that happened to you but then carry around an epipen and allergy medicine, dont force everyone not to have it because of you!. I know kids who are fine as long as they dont eat the peanut butter!. Anyone have any insight to the above!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have a nut allergy to all nuts!.I don't expect anyone to go overboard for me but I do expect them if they care about me to let me know if there are nuts in any foods they are serving so I can avoid them and I don't expect anyone to cook special things for me,I can bring my own!.I am not ready to die yet,I still have a lot of living to do!.What would you do if this was your mom,dad,sister or brother,would you still feel the same way!.I wonder!.By the way no one forces anyone to not to have anything!.Think about this for awhile!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just because someone has an epipen to treat a reaction doesn't mean that it will save their life!.!.!.!.there is a child in my son's class that has a nut allergy and guess what!? all of the parents in that class make darn sure we do not send anything with nuts in our kids lunches, most schools are making this a policy because every allergy can be different, there are those that get a minor reaction where an epi pen is enough to keep them from going into shock!.!.!.but then there are those that will have a reaction even if it's airborn!.!.!.airlines are not serving nut based snacks anymore for this very reason!.

your tone is as if they have a choice in the matter!.!.!.I'm sure they would like to be "normal" like you and not have an allergy to something that is so common and highly doubt they think the world "revolves around them"

when it comes down to someone possibly dying!.!.!.I think you should accommodate them! you can live without your PB&J or your nutter butters!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you are pathetic!.!.!.

have you ever seen someone go into anaphylactic shock after eating nuts!? that alone should scare you straight!.!.!.

stop being selfish and think about other people besides yourself, who wake up every morning and hope that no-one in their class has has peanut butter on toast for breakfast, or a pb and jelly sandwich for lunch!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you like the person it would be a nice gesture!. Not only this!.!.!.but some people have an allergy so badly that even the dust from nuts can cause a reaction!. It's much deeper than getting a rash etc, it can cause the person to actually die from this illness!. With and sometimes without an epi pen!. Most people who are allergic to nuts to this degree will stay away from places that can cause them to go into shock!. However, if they don't know if the place serves them etc they can't do anything about it!.
So in this instance it is all about them!. If you were blind, would you wnt your friend to take you out into the middle of a freeway and stand you there!? Same thing!. It isn't all about you!.!.you should be able to cross the street!. etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm curious!. Who is the one who thinks the "world revolves around them"!? It sounds like it is you!. You might try a new concept - it is called compassion!. If that doesn't work for you, try empathy!.

Best wishes and good luck - you are going to need it in life!.

p!.s!. I am NOT trying to be mean!. I am trying to wake you up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have heard that peanut allergies can KILL you!. Also, people severely allergic don't have to eat it, just touching it can harm them!. For smaller children especially the dangers are very real!. Try to have some compassion, these people cannot help the way they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Many nut and peanut allergies pose bigger problems at school because the residue is easily spread!. For example, your child has a peanut butter sandwich at lunch and does not wash hands and then goes into the library!. When they pull out their chair, touch the table, check books they are spreading that peanut residue!. Or if they have phys ed they touch the balls, the door handles etc!.

Perhaps I should have videotaped my daughter gasping for air, going grey, terribly cold, disoriented and dizzy followed by the epi-pen and a call to 911 and then paramedics treating her and the ambulance ride to the hospital and getting immediate attention for you to understand just how severe it can be!.

My home does not have anything with a trace of nuts or peanuts and those of us in the family without the allergy are doing just fine!. Yes, we miss it sometimes but it is not worth the risk!.

We have sent nut-free and peanut-free lunches for years because of other students but it wasn't until my own child's reaction that I truly understood the situation!.

As to sanitizing the class it is not feasible!. It is a matter of making it safe for everyone!. I assure you that your child not having PB&J is a minor inconvenience to the child with the allergies and their parents who eat every meal praying it won't lead to another anaphylactic reaction!.

Since my child's nut allergies started we do not get to eat out at restaurants often, parties are a nightmare!. And despite a No Nut policy there have been nuts in her classroom!. Please Let it be safe for all of those kids to enjoy school without the worries that they will react!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
